Back at the car after the final whistle, parked on a street off Aston Lane, and it is flat. Do not drive it; the fitter works out repair or replacement on the spot.
An Aston flat can be discovered in the morning on a terrace off Witton Road, after a match on a street near Villa Park, or at a unit on Holborn Hill when the van is loaded and ready. A screw from the Lichfield Road has leaked all night. The instinct is to nurse it to a garage, yet even the short run to Aston Cross on the rim wrecks the tyre and can crack the alloy.
Ring with the street or yard and the size from the sidewall, and mention if the car is inside the match-day closures around Trinity Road. If sourced, a tyre in your size travels along. The flat one is pumped up and the leak traced to its source; a nail in the tread means a BS AU 159 repair on the spot, a weeping valve is swapped, damage in the sidewall or shoulder means the new tyre is used. Either outcome is priced before a spanner is picked up.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Aston as well.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Aston page
When a tyre goes flat on Lozells Road or Wheeler Street, the first job is to get off the road safely. Indicate, brake gently and tuck into a side turning or a car park mouth, hazards on. Message us a location pin and the name of the nearest stop or estate, for example Soho Benson Road station or Summer Lane Industrial Estate.
Found a flat outside the house in Aston? Check the other three tyres first, then go over the deflated one: a screw buried in the tread, a split or bent valve, or a scuff where it met a kerb on the terraces off Witton Road. Driving to a garage on it, even after a pump-up, damages the casing further. A space-saver spare is for a short, gentle journey only. The car is fine where it is, provided the street is not inside a match-day closure.
